Programs

What you can learn

Every lesson is one-to-one and paced to the student. Start with one track and add another when you're ready.

Kids and adults

Quran reading from zero

From the alphabet to reading fluently from the mushaf, for anyone who can't read Arabic script yet.

  • Letters and sounds, with transliteration at first
  • Joining letters, short vowels and long vowels
  • Reading real verses early, not only drills
Kids and adults

Tajweed and recitation

Correct pronunciation and the rules of tajweed, applied to the surahs you already know.

  • Where each letter is pronounced (makharij)
  • Rules like noon sakinah, madd and qalqalah, one at a time
  • Recite, get corrected, recite again
Kids and adults

Hifz (memorisation)

Memorise with a plan and a gentle check-in every lesson: new lines, then revision, then a star on the chart.

  • Juz Amma first for most children
  • Revision built into every lesson
  • A progress chart the student colours in
Kids and adults

Arabic for non-native speakers

Speaking, reading and writing for everyday life, and for understanding what you recite.

  • Kids: words, colours, food and family, with drawings
  • Adults: conversation and Quranic vocabulary
  • Homework only when it helps

Also on request: Islamic studies for kids (stories of the Prophets, duas and manners).

The teacher

Meet Ustadha Asmaa

Asmaa Ahmed teaches Quran and Arabic online from Egypt to students across the US, Canada and the Gulf. Her lessons are in English, one-to-one, and built around the student in front of her: a five-year-old learning the alphabet with drawings, or an adult working towards finishing the whole Quran.

Parents keep mentioning the same things: patience, children who feel at ease on camera, and a teacher who answers every question.

Asmaa teaches every lesson herself, so sisters and daughters learn with a female teacher from the first lesson to the last.

What parents and students say

Real messages sent to Asmaa on WhatsApp, lightly trimmed. Children's names removed.

You're the third teacher I've tried. Every time I'd say, this isn't what I'm looking for. Then I met you, alhamdulillah. My dream is to finish the whole Quran with you.
Adult student
Yes I will definitely recommend you. My kids said you are a great teacher, MashAllah 🥰
Parent
Yesterday I was telling my husband about you: the best Quran teacher and the kindest character. I benefit from the first minute of the lesson to the last. And I prayed for you a lot.

One star per surah

Students who memorise get a chart. Every surah they finish gets coloured in. Kids ask for the next one.

Alhamdulillah, all good. The lesson was excellent, my son enjoyed it and the teaching style is really engaging.

FAQ

Questions parents ask

If yours isn't here, send it on WhatsApp.

Do we need to know any Arabic to start?

No. Many students begin with the alphabet. Asmaa teaches in English and uses transliteration until the letters feel familiar.

Is the teacher a woman?

Yes. Asmaa teaches every lesson herself, so daughters and mothers learn with a female teacher throughout.

What ages do you teach?

Children from around five, teenagers and adults. Siblings are welcome; tell us about each child and Asmaa will suggest what works.

Where do lessons happen?

On Zoom, with the whiteboard and screen sharing for reading practice. You only need a phone, tablet or laptop with a camera.

What about the time difference?

Asmaa is in Egypt and already teaches families across North America and the Gulf. Tell us your time zone and the times that work for you, and we'll find a slot.

How long and how often are lessons?

Lessons are one-to-one, so length and frequency are yours to set. Asmaa will suggest a rhythm after the trial lesson.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is per lesson and depends on lesson length and how many lessons a week. Ask on WhatsApp and you'll get a clear answer.

Can parents sit in?

Yes. Parents are welcome in the lesson, especially with younger children.

What happens in the free trial lesson?

A short first session, free of charge, to meet Asmaa, check the student's level and agree on a starting point. Then you decide.

Who is learning?

Your message will look like this

Salam Asmaa, my name is ….
I'd like a free trial lesson for my child.
Goal: Quran reading from zero.

مَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَلَهُ بِهِ حَسَنَةٌ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا

Start with one letter.

The Prophet ﷺ taught that whoever reads a letter of the Quran earns a good deed, and each good deed is multiplied by ten (Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2910). Every lesson with Asmaa begins with one letter.
